Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

So I was browsing through some belly pics and it seems that my belly is much bigger than most people at 12 weeks. I haven't really been gaining weight anywhere else (a little in my face) and I was just wondering if anyone else seems bigger than they should be? Opinions please on my belly shots...I am getting nervous there is more than one hiding in there!

I think you may be slightly bigger than I was at 12 weeks, but I don't think it's abnormal. Everyone is different. What has your doctor said? I'm sure it's totally normal. I think your belly is very cute and you look terrific.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

you look great, don't worry. I feel like a house at 14 weeks

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I dont know but I think you look great either way.Very cute actually!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

You could still be bloated a bit. I remember not feelilng big enough - be thankful you know your bean is growing! Your belly is very cute!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

i looked exactly the same. i asked when i went to the doctor and they said combination growing and bloating.

you look cute!

Everyone is different. I didn't really show until my 6th month. You have a gorgeous little belly.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I think you look so cute

I was looking at some old belly pics of myself and I was bigger between weeks 12-16 than I was at 20 weeks. I think the reason for that is you bloat A LOT at first.

So, I don't think you are abnormally big. And, don't be surprised if you shrink a little in a few weeks then get bigger again.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

i feel the same way i am 10 weeks and i am huge already and showing! You look great and just ask the Dr . if there is more then one i did and there is only one hearbeat!!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I'm 12 weeks also and in the last week or so I've started to get that extra roundness in my belly. I was in BRU last week and a woman next to me was saying she was 12 weeks and she was bigger then you, and you could tell she was a really thin lady and just all belly. Everyone progresses differently. I would say enjoy the fact that you actually look pg and have a cute belly...I feel like I just look like I'm getting a beer belly.

you might be a tiny bit bigger than I was at 12 weeks but I was definitely showing as well. You look fine....... besides everyone carries different. I tohught I was abnormally big also, I think we all think that at some point.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I think you look great! Please remember that you cannot compare your belly to anyone else's.. everyone gains differently and carries differently. But I truly dont think that you are big whatsoever!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

Thank you, ladies for all the compliments of my cute belly! I am just the first of all my friends and family to be pregnant and I guess I am a little paranoid about everything!

I have an OB appt today so I will see what they say. I am going to ask to make sure there is only one!

Thanks again!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I don't think it's too early for you to be showing- everyone is different. Many people on the boards didn't need maternity clothes until they were 20 weeks- I was in them by 12-13 weeks. As long as your Dr. isn't concerned then I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

no i think you look fine if you have a small belly you get a belly faster.
You look great by the way.

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I am about 13 weeks and I have a belly I can still wear some of my regular clothes as they were bigger on me before I got my BFP

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

I swear I was in preggo pants by week 10. you look great!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

See - thats what I want to look like already!!!! I love that little belly!!! I'm at the end of my 13th week - and nothing! I notice a little poof, and so does DH when I'm naked, but no one else does.... When I show people, they give me one of these

I feel like I have to go out out of the way to request some royal treatment b/c I don't look PG yet!!!

I thought for sure I'd be looking like you already!!!!

I love it!!!

Re: Am I abnormally big for 12 weeks?

So I went to the doctors yesterday and we heard only ONE heartbeat. She said it is perfectly normal, the size of my belly...now explain this to me...I have only gained 1 lb. so far! My belly is huge--not to mention my bra size has doubled (sorry if TMI!) but still I only gained one pound?? So strange!
